TuS Makkabi Berlin TuS Makkabi Berlin This team of the Jewish community was founded in 1970 as a continuation of an old team, Bar-Kochba Berlin. This club had merged with Hakoah in 1929, and the Nazis finally banned them in 1938. Hakoah itself was started again in 1945.
After some minor success for Makkabi in the early 1980s, the soccer division joined Fvgg Wannsee in 1987, only to return 10 years later.
Berlin's Jewish comminuty is the largest in Germany, but is still very small. Many of the players (which in 2004 included Serbians, Thais, Chinese, Bosnians) are not Jewish. However, recent emigration from Russia has increased the number of Jewish players in the ranks.
